| Notes: |
| Gaige gives a 6-player crosstable; Di Felice includes results of Wisker and Martin indicating that they did not play all their games. Feenstra Kuiper in Hundert Jahre Schachturniere gives just Blackburne's and Zukertort's totals including their results against Wisker and Martin, but in Hundert Jahre Schachzweikämpfe he gives totals for the 6 who finished, consistent with Gaige's crosstable, as does Sergeant. The Illustrated London News of 15 Apr. 1876 (p.383) indicates that Janssens won a game against Major Martin before the latter withdrew, a result not included in Di Felice's table. However, Harding clarifies that this was a win by forfeit, so it is not included here. Di Felice shows two wins for MacDonnell over Wisker; Harding (p.125) makes it clear that there was only one. Harding gives a definitive crosstable of all games actually played. |
